    Hi Chris,
     
    Well picked up :) The current beta of IE8 still doesn't support the DOM Events model completely, so I had to cheat a bit and use the library. Current indications are that it may not support it at all (in release), sighting incompatibilities with the current (Netscape derived) model. So we may have to continue using our JavaScript libraries for a while to come yet.

    Hi Damian

    I saw your IE8 session in Sydney and found it really interesting and useful.  One quick question.  In the cross-browser compatibility demo you used the MS AJAX Library to bind the JavaScript events with $addHandler.  Is there a standardised way to do this yet, e.g. using addEventListener() ?

    Hey there,

    Just wanted to say that I *And I imagine many others* thought the idea behind your entire session to be borish, and something not worth attending. I entered it only because I was running the creative track and was damn well going to stick to it. Needless to say I felt I was going to be absolutely bored, especially as a firefox user primarily.

    And listening to some guys rattle on about IE for a while...oh boy.

    But you really showed me, ultimately out of all the sessions I went to that entire day, your one was the one that really stood out for me. Probably partly due to, I admit, the poor expectations I had in the first place. I understood pretty much everything you were both trying to show, it was all concise, and really really well presented. So this is just a long winded kudo's for turning what most would consider a damn boring presentation, and turning it into really quite an engaging one.

    I could even follow your code, and I've barely touched code in my life.

    Sorry about that, it was a security guard thingy on my hosting provider. Should be OK now.
